Do you have any 'upmarket' editing programs like Vegas with the full
compliment of codec's that come with it?
Basically make a list of all your mpeg and avi editing, dvd authoring
programs and make sure you are not dispensing with something you may need.
Instead of the packs maybe check on what is missing from your system and
just update with the specifics, like the latest Xvid and DivX codec's etc..
